appropriate saw blade. The saw is suitable for rough, straight and curved cuts as
well as for level sawing. If a retaining claw is used, the saw blade can be used to
saw branches.
Any other applications are expressly prohibited and are deemed improper use.
Neither the manufacturer nor the retailer can accept any responsibility for injury,
loss or damage caused by misuse of this product of any kind.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and
technical details supplied with this power tool. Failure to
follow the safety notices and instructions may result in an
electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-operated power tools (corded) and
battery-powered power tools (cordless).
Work place safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in areas with a risk of
explosion where flammable liquids, gases or dusts are
present. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the power
tool while you are using it. If you are distracted, you could
lose control of the power tool.
Electrical safety
a) The connector plug for the power tool must fit in the
socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs in combination with power tools
with protective earthing. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces like pipes,
heaters, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not use the cord for improper purposes such as for
carrying the power tool, for hanging it up or for pulling
or unplugging it from the socket. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use only
extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating the power tool in a damp environment
cannot be avoided, use a RCD. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Safety of persons
a) Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and
approach work with a power tool in a reasonable manner.
Do not use any power tool if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
8 9
b) Wear personal protective gear and always wear safety
glasses. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidentally activating the device. Make sure
that the power tool is turned off before you connect it to
the power supply and/or the rechargeable battery, pick it
up or carry it. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or connecting the power tool to a power supply
while the switch is set to “on” may lead to accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or spanners before you
switch the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Avoid an abnormal posture. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If there is an option for installing dust suction devices
and dust containers, these should be attached and used
correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and
ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are
well acquainted with power tools, having used them
frequently. Using power tools without due care and
attention can cause serious injuries in a split second.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Using and handling the power tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the right power
tool for your work. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use a power tool if its switch is defective. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the rechargeable battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing insertion
tools or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children.
Do not let any individual who is not familiar with the
power tool or who has not read these instructions operate
this power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and insertion tools with care.
Check to make sure that the moving parts are functioning
properly and not stuck, whether parts are broken or
damaged so as to affect the function of the power tool.
If any parts of the power tool are damaged, have them
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool and insertion tools, etc., in
accordance with these instructions. At the same time,
